. In preparation. =OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.= Professor Graetz's History is universally accepted as a conscientious and reliable contribution to religious literature.--_Philadelphia Telegraph._ Aside from his value as a historian, he makes his pages charming by all the little side-lights and illustrations which only come at the beck of genius.--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._ The writer, who is considered by far the greatest of Jewish historians, is the pioneer in his field of work--history without theology or polemics.... His monumental work promises to be the standard by which all other Jewish histories are to be measured by Jews for many years to come.--_Baltimore American._ Whenever the subject constrains the author to discuss the Christian religion, he is animated by a spirit not unworthy of the philosophic and high-minded hero of Lessing's "Nathan the Wise."--_New York Sun._ It is an exhaustive and scholarly work, for which the student of history has reason to be devoutly thankful....

We might quote from every page some noble utterance or sweet thought well worthy of the cherishing by either Jew or Christian.--_Richmond Dispatch._ The topics discussed are in the most instances practical in their nature. All are instructive, and passages of rare eloq
